As exemplified by his recent savaging of General Milley, it seems that tfg's appointments were all

[Atticus]

"the best people" until they refused to kiss his ass each time he insisted they abandon all self respect and pucker up.

It must be apparent to all that anyone who is still in his service or otherwise supports him is as immoral as he is, as ignorant as he is or both.

1. How many people were in his direct employ?

That is interviewed or otherwise were hired on his word?

[Mr.Bill]

2. I doubt he knew many of these people until he got elected.

Then he got his advice on personnel from the clowns in his inner circle and other elected officials in the repug party.

[KS Toronado]

5. Yep, and they gave him more clowns

who promised to dismantle the departments they were put in charge of. Then those clowns started firing
anyone who stood in their way of destroying the department and replaced them with even more loyal clowns.
That's why when Biden took over Jan 20th, he basically just had left-over clowns to work with who refused
to pick up all the elephant shit left laying around.

3. I'll Posit A Guess

The most crooked or the least competent were hired directly.
I can't prove it, I just know it's true.

[NewJeffCT]

12. I know it is as well

but, the corruption ran so deep on Team Trump that it might be hard to tell sometimes

[CaptainTruth]

4. Yep, they were the best at stroking his ego.

[Evolve Dammit]

6. Most corrupt admin ever? Close at least. Ratings and comparisons are difficult. n/t

[Wounded Bear]

7. 'Sic semper tyrranus' has more than one application...

it's not just about assasinating them, it is how they operate. They will always seek sycophants to work for and around themselves, because any resistance, any digression from the program will not be tolerated.

[3catwoman3]

8. Trump's level of self-centeredness knows no bounds. His willingness to use...

… and trash an entire country solely to benefit and protect himself is horrifying.

I wake up every morning hoping to hear that he has died during the night.

[sop]

9. You and me both. This country can't take much more of Trump and his madness.

Still, today I saw some guy wearing a Trump for president t-shirt: "TRUMP 2024, Fix it Again."

God help us.

11. +1. I want him to expire naturally after a prolonged painful illness

for which there is neither relief nor cure

Preferably disfiguring

I want him to suffer and experience what millions of poor uninsured Americans go through

10. Just read "Commander In Cheat" which documents his golf-related life,

and many of the stories go back decades in that book. After reading, you’ll realize that everything that took place during his “reign” were not the least bit unbelievable, in terms of “past behavior makes for an accurate predictor of future behavior”.
